MEDIA ADVISORY

As momentum for transgender equality continues to grow in Florida and across the nation, TransAction Florida is hosting a ground-breaking media and messaging training focused on effectively discussing transgender issues with the media. The training will be conducted by national media communications trainers, The Franklin Forum.

WHY: This training is designed to enable attendees to carefully craft effective messaging and to effectively communicate through all media sources, radio, TV and printed media, to better support transgender equality.

TransAction Florida is an initiative of Equality Florida Institute, the largest civil rights organization in Florida dedicated to ending discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity or expression. This initiative was launched in 2014 with three broad objectives: To educate Florida's major employers on effective transgender inclusion protocol, to advocate for the trans community in a broader and more structured way, and to be an integral part of all public policy that involved transgender rights. To achieve these, and even broader goals across the Sunshine State, TransAction Florida was formed, which consists of transgender community leaders from all parts of our state.
